19 celebrities who have left Los Angeles on where they moved and why they did it

- Here are 18 celebrities who left LA — plus where they chose to move to and why.
California is the US state with the most people moving out, with about 817,000 leavers between 2021 and 2022, according to the most recent census data.
And while regular people ditch the Golden State, several celebrities, who can typically afford to live wherever they want, have also decided California is no longer the place for them.
Singer-turned-talk show host Kelly Clarkson traded Los Angeles for New York City post-divorce for in 2022, while actor Sylvester Stallone said earlier this year that he and his family are “permanently” vacating California for South Florida.
Popular moving destinations for Californians include Arizona, Florida, and Texas.
People have told Business Insider recently that reasons for leaving LA and California include high taxes, expensive home prices, and challenging social and political conditions. Some celebrities remain tight-lipped when sharing moves of their news, simply saying they’re looking for a fresh start. Other high-profile actors, however, admit that the fast-paced, stressful scene in Hollywood can be another motivation.
Los Angeles, in particular, is experiencing an exodus of wealthier people in search of places where their money goes further.
Take Gus Lira, a managing partner at a private jet charter company, who had a condo in Malibu overlooking the ocean. California taxes were wearing him down, so he decided to move to Nevada.
“For me, really the main reason, and for many of the people that I know, is just taxes,” Lira told Business Insider in January. “You can’t get ahead when you get $100 and they take $60.”
Business Insider compiled a list of 18 celebrities — some in celebrity couples — who left California for greener pastures, presented in alphabetical order by last name. We tried to include both where they moved to and why they left LA.
